Now we’re supposed to care about Canadian snowflakes?

I always thought they preferred Cuba, anyway.

“Nearly a third of Manitobans which was about 200,000 people wanted to stay away from U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the poll.”

What is 200,000 people when compared to the daily park attendance at Disney World, or any of the other theme parks (much less all of them combined) in Orlando? Or, the daily attendance at the various casinos scattered around the US?

Me thinks that the author of this article has an over inflated view of his importance.

I had a Canadian acquaintance tell me that Trump and America were racist. I enjoyed explaining to him that Canada is less than 1% African origin and less than 1% Hispanic.

Every single Canadian I have ever met has been a left-winger. Every single last one. I cannot think of a Canadian that wasn’t.

They'll come to avoid the high sales taxes in their own country.

To say nothing of the great price reductions in places close to the border. The St. Mary's River Bridge where I am between Ontario and Michigan easily crossed. Even with a Canadian dollar at about 75 cents US, bargains are aplenty at the American Walmart. Milk and cheese half of our local products. Gas still about fifty cents a gallon cheaper with the exchange.

All this is to try to denigrate Donald Trump. A lot of hoey says I. Again, these Canadian critics and American naysayers should simply "Give the man a chance". See what he actually does, when in office.

Excuse the rant.

Should have mentioned our taxes. 13% on many products which are both provincial and federal taxes. They knocked it down from 15% as a gift a few years ago.

It’s okay by me. The Canadian-plated vehicles I encounter on the roads and highways near me are operated by some of the worst drivers I have ever seen.

Canadian dollars are doing so badly against US dollars that Canucks cannot afford travelling to the US.

I hope no one tells the Canadians that our US gallons are smaller than imperial gallons.

I wonder if something got left out of the sentence.

Perhaps it read "for the Republican candidate Donald Trump over the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton."

The ‘concern trolls’ in the media are trying desperately to make Trump look bad at every turn. They’ll continue to do so, no matter HOW good things get during the next four years.

Wait until they need a critical medical procedure.

If the dollar was at par again like it was years ago, the Devil himself could be President and they’d be streaming over the border for vacations, cheap flights and shopping.

They tend to change their minds quickly. Poll the Canucks again in mid-January. Trouble is there won't be enough bodies to poll, they'll all be in Lauderdale or Boca escaping the cold.

You can recognize them walking on the beach....sandals with dark knee socks, shorts with Hawaiian shirt, Panama hat with shades. As they pass, you get a faint whiff of either Rothman's (means they're English) or Du Maurier's (means they're French).

As a former old Florida boy, I say, bless their frozen hearts....they leave millions upon millions there EVERY...SINGLE...YEAR. This year will be no exception. Like I said, wait till mid-January for the cabin fever to take hold.

Or a casino in Biloxi or Tunica.

You been spying on my neck of the woods? Have to admit you nailed it - lots of out-of-State and some north of the border license plates - of course the rentals mask how many internationals there may be at any given drive through.
